Hawk HB549N.702 HP Plus Front Brake Pads Mazdaspeed 3/6 Volvo V50 T5 2.5L

Vehicle Fitment

• 2005-2009 Volvo V50 T5 (2.5L B5254T3 Turbo I5, FWD) - Front
• 2006-2007 Mazda 6 Mazdaspeed (2.3L MZR DISI Turbo I4, FWD) - Front
• 2007-2013 Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed (2.3L MZR DISI Turbo I4, FWD) - Front

Fitment Notes

• Front axle application only - OEM caliper, 0.702 in. pad thickness.
• Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed fitment covers both the BK (2007-2009) and BL (2010-2013) chassis generations - all equipped with the same front caliper and pad shape.
• Mazda 6 Mazdaspeed fitment is limited to the turbocharged Mazdaspeed variant only - does not fit standard Mazda 6 trims.
• Volvo V50 T5 fitment is the turbocharged T5 variant only - confirm your V50 trim before ordering.
• Suitable for autocross, HPDE, and spirited street driving - still streetable, but expect increased dust, noise, and rotor wear compared to HPS and HPS 5.0.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• Compatible with stock, slotted, and cross-drilled iron/metal rotors.
• No electronic wear sensor or hardware included.

Features

• HP Plus Ferro-Carbon compound delivers the highest friction levels available in a compound that remains streetable - positioned above HPS 5.0 for drivers who regularly push their brakes hard at track days and autocross events.
• Extremely high coefficient of friction provides aggressive stopping power for Solo II, HPDE, and timed autocross runs on the front-wheel-drive Mazdaspeed and V50 T5 platforms.
• Wide operating temperature range of 100-800°F with an optimal window of 100-600°F - effective from cold street starts through sustained track heat cycles.
• Fade-resistant across consecutive hard stops - maintains consistent performance where lesser street compounds begin to overheat.
• Can get you home from the track without pad changes, though increased dust and noise versus HPS and HPS 5.0 are expected.
• Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HB549N.702 HP Plus front brake pads are engineered for the front axle of the 2007-2013 Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed, 2006-2007 Mazda 6 Mazdaspeed, and 2005-2009 Volvo V50 T5 - sharing the same OEM front caliper interface as the HPS 5.0 variant on these platforms. The HP Plus compound steps above the HPS 5.0 in Hawk's street performance lineup, delivering the maximum friction levels available in a pad that can still be driven on public roads - making it the compound of choice for Mazdaspeed 3 and 6 owners who compete in autocross or attend frequent track days, and V50 T5 drivers who want the most aggressive street-legal stopping upgrade available for their car.

The HP Plus's wide effective temperature range, starting from dead cold up to 800°F, means confident braking from the very first stop while still providing the fade resistance needed for sustained hard use. Compared to HPS 5.0, the HP Plus trades some quietness and lower dust for significantly more brake torque - an acceptable compromise for drivers who prioritize lap times and autocross results over convenience. A proper bed-in procedure is required after installation.
